Additionally, part of the trail leads through the last authentic Inca trail discovered, called Qhapaq Ñan. Along the way, you can admire beautiful mountains and subtropical areas of a cloud forest. One of the highlights of the hike is visiting the amazing, hot thermal baths, where you can cool off.
